Woman finally gets reply to message in a bottle that she dropped 31 years ago

Thirty-one years later, a response came back to the message in a bottle that a girl had sent from the Scottish coast when she was twelve years old.

As a passionate fan, I shared with the BBC that although I can’t recall crafting the specific message myself, I vividly remember sending out the note, which requested the finder to respond with personal details like their name, interests, and home address, through a Moray Cup bottle.

In a contemporary turn of events, Beresford shared how she managed to connect with Brodtmann via social platforms, who subsequently shared an image of the ancient correspondence. “Pia and I have maintained our connection and are hoping to carry on this interaction,” she expressed.
